WildStar Goes Free-to-Play September 29

NCsoft's sci-fi MMO WildStar will go free-to-play at the end of this month.

Way back in May, we heard that NCsoft's ambitious sci-fi MMO WildStarwould be going free-to-play. Now, the developer has finally given us a definite date: September 29. The free-to-play update will rebrand the game as WildStar: Reloaded, and include a wealth of new features for new and old players alike.

"WildStar: Reloaded includes BIG changes to core game systems; a new character creation and intro experience; improvements to dungeons, itemization, tradeskills, world bosses and group content; a class stat revamp; new quality of life features, bonus events, the Cosmic Rewards program, and so much more," wrote NCsoft in a blog post.

Furthermore, the new WildStar Signature service will replace any current on-going subscriptions, and will act as the optional premium "paid" subscription, offering various in-game goodies and advantages. Veteran players will also receive additional rewards based on how long they have been playing, as detailed here.
